Download Caught in a thicket

Abraham had no idea that there would be a ram caught in this thicket. God had not revealed any special knowledge to him on the matter.

He was left only with trusting a God he knew was absolutely faithful in all things.

We are left with this same knowledge in many things we face today.

God does not allow us to know what He will use to keep His promises, yet He commands we trust, leaving the rest to Him.

Providing a sacrifice was not difficult for God. He created the ram, He created the thicket, and He created the very mountain they were on.

Much of what we trust God for is just as seemingly insignificant, yet we often only see the challenge and it obscures our view of God.

He has no difficulties and will perform all He chooses in His own perfect time.
